If there is one thing almost everybody agrees on it is this: life is uncertain.
Who would have thought a year ago that the world would be ground to a sharp halt because of some superbug? Well, maybe Bill Gates, but the rest of us didn’t see this one coming! But that isn’t entirely true is it, there is at least one other, God!
Research shows that most people have a low tolerance for uncertainty.
Understandably, when faced with lots of uncertainty, anxiety tends to kick in.
We have evolution to thank for this and although at times it may be an inconvenience, we would be lost without it.
Nobody has lived life without facing some degree of uncertainty.
So, given it’s something we all have to live with, it makes sense to become masters of managing it.
A good place to start is the Bible. Why? Well for one, it is littered with stories of people like us trying to cope with uncertainty and two it reminds us that although the path before us may be unclear there is always someone standing by us ready to give us a helping hand.
Hope these help!
